Description
Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B)
ADS-B improves situational awareness and flight safety by providing
real time traffic information. The ADS-B In function is used to receive
ground station supported TIS-B and ADS-R traffic, and direct
communication with nearby like equipped aircraft (with Mode S or
UAT) using ADS-B Out. The ADS-B Out (1090ES) function is used
to periodically broadcast (without interrogation) information about the
aircraft that includes aircraft identification, position, altitude, velocity
and other aircraft status information.
ADS-B is NOT intended to be used as a collision avoidance system
and does NOT relieve the pilot of responsibility to “see-and-avoid”
other aircraft.
No avoidance maneuvers are provided for, nor authorized, as a
direct result of a ADS-B other aircraft being displayed in the cockpit.
Avoidance maneuvers must be based on visually acquiring the
target

Model Options
The Traffic Awareness System (TAS) option provides the system
the capability to interrogate nearby aircraft transponders and issue
Traffic Advisory (TA) alert to the flight crew. This option requires the
installation of a directional antenna.
The Diversity option offers enhanced traffic awareness via 1090MHz
using the ADS-B service. This option requires the installation of an
additional top mounted UAT (L-Band) antenna.
The unit provides the transponder code, reply symbol and mode of
operation to the display.
The ADS-B provides own aircraft data with Enhanced Visual Acquisition
(EVAcq) traffic information that improves situational awareness
and flight safety by providing aircraft position, velocity, and heading
information that is automatically transmitted to other aircraft and
ground stations providing immediate surveillance of air-to-air traffic.
The 1090ES and UAT ADS-B data link have the following capabilities
1090 In - Receives ADS-B, ADS-R and TIS-B
1090ES Out - Transmit ADS-B
UAT In - Receives ADS-B, FIS-B, ADS-R, TIS-B
A description of these functions are provided below. A composite of
UAT / 1090ES traffic (UAT, 1090ES, ADS-R, and TIS-B) is provided
in Figure 1-3.
